We avoid putting ourselves in positions where we must honor commitments that cause us discomfort or stress when we learn to say no without feeling the harsh pangs of guilt. Many people are simply unable to deny the requests others put forth because they feel honor- or duty-bound to give 100 percent of themselves to colleagues and loved ones. Yet in understanding that we cannot realistically do every favor asked of us, we gain the ability to say no without difficulty, thus granting ourselves more time and energy to focus on our inner- and outer-world needs. As a result, we become more able to effectively meet those obligations we do choose to undertake. When you learn to say no today, your commitments will be representative of your individual values and your most prized priorities.
